Undefiled Religion

Today I woke up earlier than I wanted to burdened and crying. I didn’t know exactly what it was, though have been feeling this sorrow and deep pain in the heart for a few days. Later this morning the Lord showed me it was the grief in His heart for His Body. Why have we made it so difficult for people to be part of the Church? The word neglect came to mind, and I believe the Lord was saying His people have long been neglected; they were created to be part of the Body where everyone has a place, a home, a family. We as the Global Church are responsible for ‘the orphans’, the ones we ourselves have refused to provide a place for. We are guilty for mothering and fathering only those we think worthy of our time and attention. Not all have been treated or welcomed equally, we have perpetuated the orphan spirit, and for this we have much to be accountable for.

We have neglected the true call of religion, “Pure and unblemished religion [as it is expressed in outward acts] in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit and look after the fatherless and the widows in their distress, and to keep oneself uncontaminated by the [secular] world.”‭‭ James‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬ ‭AMP‬‬. The Lord’s eye is on His people, He is grieving with the spiritually widowed, the abandoned, and the spiritual orphan.

Jesus made a place in His Body for us all ~

“and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance. Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as [a service] to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ is head of the church, Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything [respecting both their position as protector and their responsibility to God as head of the house]. Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless. Even so husbands should and are morally obligated to love their own wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own body, but [instead] he nourishes and protects and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members (parts) of His body. For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined [and be faithfully devoted] to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery [of two becoming one] is great; but I am speaking with reference to [the relationship of] Christ and the church.” Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭2‬, ‭22‬-‭32‬ ‭AMP‬‬

To the spiritually overlooked and neglected, the Lord is saying you are a member of His Body, and He remembers you! “Although my father and my mother have abandoned me, Yet the Lord will take me up [adopt me as His child].” Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭10‬ ‭AMP‬‬

I will never tell the Lord I don’t want to feel His heart, and on different occasions He has allowed me to vicariously experience as a prophet/intercessor; however this is one of the deepest pains I have felt. I believe there will be a wave of mass repentance coming to the Body soon for how we have mistreated one another, I pray so as it is absolutely necessary in becoming a “pure and spotless Bride” for our coming King.

I pray as the Global Church continues to be cleansed and restored that we would align properly with Love in Spirit and in Truth, cease to build our self-serving kingdoms, and truly lay ourselves down for Christ’s Body. Lord have mercy on Your Church for we are guilty in causing tremendous pain to our own Body, forgive us for hurting Your heart and spiritually neglecting and rejecting many. Have mercy, Lord.

Despised and Rejected

Your personal ‘calling’ does not necessarily equate acceptance. Living a life of obedience and surrender to the Lord does not mean you are easily welcomed, well liked, or loved by all. You can be in the perfect will of God and be rejected by men.

As time progresses and the pathway to righteousness and following the Lord becomes narrower, it will be more consequential that we adhere to the mandate that we humble ourselves and take up our cross – on the daily! Our temporary sufferings are unto the Lord, that He, the Lamb, may receive the reward for His suffering. When we are dead to self, we can more readily and willingly follow the Lamb.

If religion nailed Jesus to the cross, so will our adversary be. Many people despised and rejected Him, but remember religion crucified Him. People will turn against you; brother, sister, father, and mother – and they will think they are justified in “truth” ; a divide is coming within the Body, your very own “sisters and brothers ‘in the Lord’” and the only way to survive the sword is to be cloaked in humility.

“Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people hate you, and exclude you [from their fellowship], and insult you, and scorn your name as evil because of [your association with] the Son of Man. Rejoice on that day and leap for joy, for your reward in heaven is great [absolutely inexhaustible]; for their fathers used to treat the prophets in the same way.” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“And he who does not take his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me] is not worthy of Me.” Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭38‬ ‭AMP‬‬

““The one who listens to you listens to Me; and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and the one who rejects Me rejects Him [My heavenly Father] who sent Me.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10‬:‭16‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“He was despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and pain and acquainted with grief; And like One from whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we did not appreciate His worth or esteem Him. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth [to complain or defend Himself]; Like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before her shearers, So He did not open His mouth.” Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭3‬, ‭7‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Re-release of a prophetic dream 7.7.20

Repentance is not a dirty word.
But first let me explain I have been a vivid dreamer since I could remember. I often communicated warning dreams unknowingly even as a small child. I was also more comfortable with the unseen realm than the earthly realm and longed to be with my Creator. At this point in my life -though I am happy to answer questions and share my testimony I no longer have the time to explain myself or dilute and code messages. Haven’t we had enough of a ‘watered down’ gospel after all? After years and years of seeing my dreams and visions come to pass I will say I’m just the messenger – and even if one person is impacted by the message than I have succeeded, “I tell you, in the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.” Luke‬ ‭15:7‬ ‭AMP‬‬

I awoke from a really intense dream last night. The kind of dream that Isaiah 5:20 writes “What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.” NLT

The actual full details I don’t feel to explain to you but the message of dream is of upmost importance. In the dream the streets and buildings were full of people – for the protest and conviction of “wrong doers” or “the accused”. After the masses would convict those who had committed very minor offenses and shed blood on their behalf (cut them with knives) there was another grouping of people who lined up after who had more evil offenses & wickedness of heart, but they however were allowed to go free with no bloodshed.

Does this sound familiar?! This is a spirit of religion. Just like the one that killed Jesus – except He had NO offense in him!

There were fires, ashes and crowds of people high and low. There was a dominant religious influence from a certain church. After those who were most wicked and not convicted were free, I could not contain the fire in me any longer. The dream ended with me preaching a message of repentance and raising my voice as loud as I could among thousands.

Repentance is not a dirty word. Repentance means to be restored to the pent house. Literally means to come up to a higher way of thinking. There is a more excellent way… When your mind is changed your behavior will follow.

I believe all of Heaven rejoices when we repent because it’s an act of our free will. And the dedication in changing your mind sometimes requires hard work. God’s intention and heart is not to punish you, or dominate you under His thumb. Quite the opposite really – what other King GIVES you dominion to rule and reign with Him? There is none like Jehovah!

We are entering a time where mass confusion is prevalent. Where good is called evil and evil is called good. You can not get by in the times to come by following the majority. This is not a fear message, however a “change your mind message”. You can still live in peace when there are storms around you! You have to be close to Jesus, you need the Holy Spirit. You need the Lord God as your defender and righteous judge. You need the gift of discernment as never before. Pray that the scales be removed from your eyes, and for ears to hear what the Spirit would say to the church. Raise your voice in Spirit and in Truth. Prepare the way for our coming King!

“Repent [change your inner self–your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“The realm of heaven’s kingdom is about to appear—so you’d better keep turning away from evil and turn back to God!”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭3:2‬ ‭TPT‬‬

The Coming Antichrist and Sword

A Warning Dream and Vision

This morning 1.18.23 I had a warning dream that parallels with a message the Lord has already been forming, that I have been waiting to release. In the dream the Antichrist was just divorced by the true covenant Bride. The true Bride would call him a Pharisee and immediately Jezebel brought him another bride. This secondary bride was in preparation for marriage to her true Bridegroom, though was brought to the Antichrist prematurely through control, manipulation, and money.

The Antichrist’s profession was an “actor” and his hearts desires were attached to performance and producing (illegitimately). Producing in and of itself isn’t wrong, it was the heart and motive in this Antichrist, in other words symbolically what he professed was a pretend. He shifted the blame on the true covenant Bride and accused her for calling him a Pharisee though this was the truth. The covenant Bride’s name in the dream means “pure”, “a bodily purging”, from the Greek “pure, clear of dirt, clean, spotless; open, free; clear of shame or guilt; purified”. The Bridegroom’s name in the dream symbolizes a type of Christ and means “one who heals”, “save, we pray”. Additionally the secondary bride that was brought in was still in process while she was preparing for her true Bridegroom, she represented many in the body of Christ. She was taken away PREMATURELY by Jezebel who posed as a “mother” to her and brought her before this false bridegroom to an arranged marriage. While this second bride was in the middle of preparing, she was led away only wearing the sheer slip to her bridal gown that revealed her nakedness underneath as she had no undergarments on. Her gown was very low cut and even she knew it revealed too much, she was waiting to be properly clothed, knowing that somehow the longer she waited the right clothing would be made available.

After Jezebel took her from this place of preparation and before she was taken to the arranged marriage she spoke to other women in silly embarrassment that she was exposed, however she did not know where she was being led, so the cost of her embarrassment was not high. It was too late to go back to get her gown and she was totally exposed. This represents her heart, as a deep v-neck reveals the heart, though she could not even hide at this point her shame or nakedness. In the next scene Jezebel cut her a deal on rent, making it seem like because she was “blood” she was favored, making the cost of her living next to nothing (devaluing her life). Then in the following scene she sat across from this Antichrist, and could not even look at him at first, saddened by what she had lost. I sensed she did not want this to happen, though felt out of control (underneath Jezebels thumb).. She knew this wasn’t her true bridegroom and one she loved, though felt forced into the compromised relationship deceived into thinking her betrothed Bridegroom wouldn’t come for her.

This Antichrist bridegroom was not humble, though posed as being such through a victim mentality – a narcissist, gas lighter, etc. His face appeared beautiful and bright and his eyes were light, but I knew his eyes were meant to be brown representing humility and his face represented a false Angel of light. He was likened to me through a person I know, and represented a likeness of him and his name; but was not in true covenant like the person in reality is.

This is the most important part of this message / interpretation: the Antichrist will be a man of religion controlled by Jezebel. I repeat, the Antichrist will be raised to be a man of religion. He will replicate healing, and the works of Jesus, he will have “life” and charisma, and he will believe in himself. He will accuse the true Bride yet try to pose as Holy One himself. He will aim to make a name for himself, He will look like Christ though his character will be contrary. He will seem humble to many, when it is actually a victim spirit dancing with pride and narcissism . It will be very difficult to determine the difference until his soul is revealed.

The Church’s coming war will be with the covenant keepers of the spirit of religion and the spirit of Jezebel. The enemy is aware of the word that says a house divided cannot stand. He has blasphemed the Name of the Lord, while Jezebel is in bed with her son, the Antichrist. The unholy of unholy unions indeed! The enemy is bringing division to the true Bride to thwart her union with Christ. And at the same time the Hand of the Lord is also dividing and exposing those who are hiding in His house whose allegiance is to the Antichrist; the posers, players and actors.

Another repeated message I’ve continued to share, though this is what the Lord is highlighting; The great separation that is coming is within the Global Bride. Sheep and goats both call upon the name of the Lord. Wheat and tares look exactly alike until they are broken open. This is the season of the Threshing Floor, a time for the true covenant Bride to war for her own, plunder what was stolen, working together with the Lord while He separates and deals with the impostors. “Arise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion! For I will make your horn iron And I will make your hoofs bronze; That you may beat many peoples in pieces [trampling down your enemies], That you may devote to the Lord their unjust gain (pagan possessions) And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.” Micah 4:13 AMP. The greatest wealth to the Lord here on this earth is one’s soul. Our hearts are the wealth of nations!

Pray for mercy, that our eyes be not deceived! As a global Body we are coming near an intersection and tipping point where once we have crossed we will not be able to return back. The enemies plan is to intercept the Bride’s destiny by alluring her away before she is prepared. The enemy prowls like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, and his target is the unprepared, immature Bride! Chose this day whom you will serve. You will be in covenant with an idol or in covenant with the Creator. There is a line. You must choose one side or the other.

You will wait for the promised coming Bridegroom or you will bow to Jezebel and her rule. You will forfeit destiny for profit. You will exchange intimacy for looks and appearance. You will bow to idols or bow to the Lord. No more protective covering, no more holy covenant relationship, no freedom in the Spirit. Naked and exposed and forsaken you will be. Choose! You must choose whom you will serve this day!

The Coming Storm and Sword

On Friday December, 30 2022 I was asking the Lord if He had anything else to say to me for the coming year. I was standing alone outside in my uncle’s backyard overlooking many acres of woods. Then out from a dramatic scene of very low hovering storm clouds in the natural I saw in the Spirit a giant sword come down from the cloud, and I heard, “joints and marrow”. Immediately I knew this meant yet another separation was underway as Hebrews 4:12 was quickened to me. “For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 AMP.

In concurrence with what I personally experienced as a forerunner last year, what the Lord has already spoken to me about storms, I believe we will see physical storms including shortages this coming year that will effect us in the natural. However, there is nothing to fear because your reality will be determined by your mind-set. Out of the midst of those storms, which are The Lord, we will see His sword judging the very thoughts and attitudes of our heart. He is completely disjointing what does not belong in and on His Body and it will feel like the most furious storm, however it will be the Lord. He would rather grow a new leg than defile the whole body – so to speak. He is exposing the marrow, which is the very inside of the bone. Symbolically He is exposing and testing our greatest strength or weakness, many of you will be tested beyond what you think you can endure, and His grace will be sufficient for you, you will not break if you remain in Him and deeply abide in His presence. This is both on a corporate and personal level. He is exposing the thoughts and intentions of the heart to prepare us for His Holy habitation.

The Lord would say, “You want revival? Then make my House holy!”. The Lord does not abide in mixture. Who we truly are in our heart is being exposed, no one can hide from the Hand of the Lord. We must first declare He is holy, before His glory will fill the earth. The burning is for cleansing and new growth, the winds for change and separation, the fires for purification – that we may be so honored to see and behold the Lord. “And one called out to another, saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is filled with His glory.” And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, and the temple was filling with smoke. Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am ruined, Because I am a man of [ceremonially] unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”” Isaiah 6:3-5 AMP. He is making us holy so we may be able to stand before Him, pure and blameless. We are being threshed (cracked open) for the threshold (point of entrance) of His glory. “And the Lord spoke to the man (seventh angel) clothed in linen and said, “Go between the whirling wheels under the cherubim; fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And he entered as I watched. Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered; and a cloud [the Shekinah glory of God] filled the inner courtyard. Then the glory and brilliance of the Lord moved upward from the cherubim to [rest over] the threshold of the temple; and the temple was filled with the cloud and the courtyard was filled with the brightness of the Lord’s glory.”Ezekiel 10:2-4 AMP.

All the prophetic words and “insights” for the new year regardless of the messenger are meaningless if you do not KNOW Him; the Christ, Himself the TRUE BRIDEGROOM KING.

He is a PERSON.

Jesus is not a platform.
He is not a formula.
He is not a means of transport.
He is not a product.
He is NOT FOR SALE.

He is not to be “trafficked”. Slavery exists with the highest bid in the bedroom, popularly known as Human Trafficking, where destiny’s are sold like the immature bride in preparation, prearranged for rendezvous and revenue. Though have you considered Jesus trafficking? Do we not use Him just the same? Forsaking true intimacy for profit. Are we like-minded in Christ or are we “anti” (opposite of) Christ?

He is a person.
He has a name.
He has a voice.

This is my prophetic word for the new year. Steward what the Lord gave you last year, the year before and before that. Do not merely consume, but chew thoroughly. Milk is for consumption and meat is for chewing. It is time to grow up Body of Christ lest we fall prey to the devices of the enemy. Divorce the idols before they hunt you like prey. “Concerning this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull and sluggish in [your spiritual] hearing and disinclined to listen. For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food. For everyone who lives on milk is [doctrinally inexperienced and] unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a spiritual infant. But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil.” Hebrews 5:11-14 AMP

John the Baptist had one message on repeat; “repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand”. This prophetic call was founded in Beloved Identity, as he had the revelation of Jesus as Bridegroom King. This one message was “good enough” to list John as one of the greatest prophets, the forerunner of Christ. “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist;” Matthew 11:11.

This is the same message needed to prepare the way for our coming King’s return. Change your mind and come up higher. Return to your first love. The Bridegroom is coming again, will you be ready?

The Spirit of the Lord said to me, “Just as the Lord is coming quickly for His Bride, so the enemy is coming quickly for his.” The enemy desires to sift you like wheat because he is after your soul. The enemy is patient in his waiting on the threshing floor, mirroring the ways of the Lord. So as it was where Ruth made her heart vulnerable to Boaz on the threshing floor, symbolically the enemy will take the separated tare from the wheat as his own. The name Boaz means “quickly” a type of Christ who has redeemed His Bride and will come quickly for her, “like a thief in the night”, and so the enemy waits to make covenant with those who in a different application are vulnerable, and separated from the Lord.

“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!” Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT

“Likewise, you younger men [of lesser rank and experience], be subject to your elders [seek their counsel]; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another [tie on the servant’s apron], for God is opposed to the proud [the disdainful, the presumptuous, and He defeats them], but He gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be].” 1 Peter 5:5-10 AMP.

All hands on deck, gowns and boots ready! We are entering a greater time of militancy and must assist the Lord. As we are becoming for Him, we also must lift others up into growth and maturity. As lovers and fighters, we must now engage in working for the Lord!

And in heeding to my own words, here is the Word of the Lord I released for 2022 on First Love https://ablazeglobalproductions.com/2021/12/31/restore-the-spark-a-call-to-return-to-first-love/

THE RISE OF THE ELISHA PROPHETS

“Get ready for the rise of the Elisha prophets”. A word I was going to release sometime over a year ago, and did not even though I know what I heard in the Spirit to be true. I waited, and waited; I watched, heard, and experienced to understand that everything that had come against them to keep them from their mantle – the forces to accuse, suppress, cause delay and all they wrestled under has now forged a most vehement flame in them. This flame will consume every naysayer that comes against the will of the Lord. They are PURE, hungry and allegiant prophets who are confidently driven by the love and fear of the Lord. They distain all that hinders the way and truth of God, zeal for His House consumes them and this HOLY passion will tear down every religious system and principality.

The fire is coming. Get ready! The earth will know God will not be mocked! These Elisha prophets have faithfully endured testing and have paid the price for Elijah’s mantle. Do you not know these are the ones who will run in the earth in these last hours to crush the high places? These are the promised mature sons and daughters ~ the restored ones who will not walk but run preparing the way for the Lord. They help cleanse the land from territorial spirits that cause barrenness and others alike – These are the final torch bearers. The Elisha prophets are deliverers and restorers, they are wild lovers and fierce warriors. They clear the way for labor and safe delivery, “the harvest is ripe and laborers are few” – but they work unto the harvest – it is in the meaning of their name; Elisha : God is Salvation. There is no fear of man left in them. They have trained and prepared for war. They hold the final blueprint and revelation for the coming of the Lord.

Religion sat on its lofty mountain and accused our Savior, nailing Him to Calvary’s cross but these Elisha’s will run atop these same mountains working together under the authority of Christ to crush the snakes that once bruised His heel. Their agreement with the Lord to accomplish His plans has made them the fiercest warrior bride tribe. Unstoppable, they ascend and descend during these final battles, seated with the Christ the Son, kinship so devoted they are with Him when He leaves His throne – the final watchmen who will herald, “look now, we see Him coming, prepare the way of the Lord!” They are more than times and seasons prophets, they ARE the season. Living signs, living wonders, living testimonies, living convictions. They are not who you think they are, for while the Church was raising up their chosen to make their prophets the Lord was breaking His.

Get ready! The fire is coming!

ELISHA SUCCEEDS ELIJAH

“When the sons of the prophets who were [watching] opposite at Jericho saw him, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him [in respect]. Then they said to Elisha, “Behold now, there are among your servants fifty strong men; please let them go and search for your master. It may be that the Spirit of the Lord has taken him up and cast him on some mountain or into some valley.” And he said, “You shall not send anyone.” But when they urged him until he was embarrassed [to refuse them], he said, “Send them.” So they sent fifty men, and they searched for three days but did not find Elijah. They returned to Elisha while he was staying at Jericho; and he said to them, “Did I not tell you, ‘Do not go’?” Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Look, this city is in a pleasant place, as my Lord [Elisha] sees; but the water is bad and the land is barren.” He said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it.” So they brought it to him. Then Elisha went to the spring of water and threw the salt in it and said, “Thus says the Lord: ‘I [not the salt] have purified and healed these waters; there shall no longer be death or barrenness because of it.’ ” So the waters have been purified to this day, in accordance with the word spoken by Elisha. Then Elisha went up from Jericho to Bethel. On the way, young boys came out of the city and mocked him and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” When he turned around and looked at them, he cursed them in the name of the Lord. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore to pieces forty-two of the boys. Elisha went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.” 2 Kings 2:15-25 AMP

SHEEP AND GOATS

It has been months ago now I heard in the Spirit “litmus test” more than once. I didn’t understand it at first but soon came to realize the Lord was sending me on assignment and teaching me even through my own suffering, allowing me to see the condition of the Body as a whole. Over a period of about four months through various trials, circumstances, encounters, and mostly through the way others responded to me He was showing me “where the Body was at” so to speak through the litmus tests.

The Lord has been teaching me shepherding through Shepherding me, because a shepherd knows their flock. Our great Shepherd leads with both rod and staff, this is a pivotal time in history and the Body needs both love and correction. Through humbling me in my own life, He showed more than I ever wanted to know – while crushed speechless so I couldn’t boast in what He was sharing with me. This is just a very small impression of the overall dynamic that was laying on me heavy last night – which I hope is perceived through the contrition of my heart, not in judgment or anger.

Last night I went to sleep feeling the grief of the Lord, particularly over how Christian’s within the Church body treat one another. The below scripture came to mind as I said aloud we are hurting His heart. I awoke early to hear the Lord speak in my spirit for a long while regarding.

“And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭25:40‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When did I think I was better than you Lord?

When did I slander your name Lord?

When did I exalt myself over You, Lord?

When was I excluding You from “my group”, Lord?

When did I cut in front of You, Lord?

When did I tell lies and spread rumors about You, Lord?

When did I look down on You, Lord?

When did I compete with you Lord?

When did I judge you, Lord?

When did I accuse you, Lord?

When did I try and “block” You, Lord?

When did I act like I was more gifted than You, Lord?

When did I say I deserved Your seat, Lord?

When did I say I owned a position in Your house, Lord?

When did I pretend to serve You in humility, Lord?

When did I pretend to love You, Lord?

When?

“And the King will reply to them, Truly I tell you, in so far as you did it for one of the least [in the estimation of men] of these My brethren, you did it for Me. [Prov. 19:17.]” Matthew‬ ‭25:40‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

The least of men according to our own estimations….

Why are the sheep acting like goats? One reason is the Church has exchanged discipline for the discipleship of the spirit of the world, and Babylon still longs for her.

The Church is lagging behind in immaturity living beneath her calling, the Lord is patient but He is also Holy, and His heart is grieved. There is much work to be done, and it’s time to grow and mature. How do we expect to steward mass harvest when we are still cutting down our own, fighting for position or seeking our own glory … all in His Name? Oh how this burdens His heart!

Sheep, goats, wheat, tares; what’s the difference you ask? Fruit. We are judged by God and separated by fruit.

Are we houses of healing or houses of hurt? No longer can the two streams coincide together. If we hurt people in thought, judgments, words, actions – we are hurting the Lord Jesus in thoughts, we are judging Him, we condemn ourselves by condemning others with our mouths, and the action is just a mere reality of wickedness in our hearts – the very place we boast He has a home.

Litmus test is defined by Webster’s dictionary, “something (such as an opinion about a political or moral issue) that is used to make a judgment about whether someone or something is acceptable”. The Lord loves us more than we could ever imagine and equally He is just and righteous deciding what He is for and what He is against. It is maturity to embrace, welcome and even ask for pruning. You are loved by God when you are disciplined by Him. Get in the fire before it consumes you. Yield and prefer the Holy Flame! Judge yourself so you will not be judged.

Father, forgive us. Holy Spirit convict us. Jesus change us.

“Then he said to me, This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts.”
‭‭Zechariah‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Spirit move upon us, burn away the chaff, and burn our hearts with holy devotion unto Your Name! Make us a people who truly fear Your Name and keep Your commandments. If we love you, we will obey. Your sheep hear Your Voice and the voices of strangers they do not follow. Guardian of our soul keep us for you!

Welcome To September Shift!

September is the 9th month on our Gregorian calendar, and represents a number of birthing! On the Hebrew calendar Rosh Hashanah is the celebration of the Jewish new year, and begins September 25 – 27th. The first day of autumn is September 22 and also symbolic of a time of change and harvest.

The New Monarchy Creation

Just yesterday on August 31, I was spending time in prayer when I saw a vision of a monarch butterfly, and then two other monarchs around it. Shortly after I saw a picture of luminous nuggets of gold. I had been sensing that the intense testing I had been going through was coming to an end, and the Lord highlighted to me that these appeared on the last day of the month of August – the eighth month which represents new beginnings and restoration. I finally had the confirming sign that the last “trimester” was complete, even through the number of butterflies in the vision. For me, it was three months to the day of the most heated fires and fiercest testing I have encountered this far in my life. The number three represents the Spirit, and I have remained confident it was the Lord’s will to test me. Butterflies, because of their complete metamorphosis are often associated with new beginnings and rebirth. We know that gold is refined in fire or extreme heat, and the nuggets represent the depths. From the deep and hidden places is now emerging the monarch creation.

The word monarch is defined as

•One who reigns over a state or territory, usually for life and by hereditary right, especially.

•A sole and absolute ruler.

•A sovereign, such as a king or empress, often with constitutionally limited authority.

•One that commands or rules.

•One that surpasses others in power or preeminence.

•A monarch butterfly.

•The chief of a monarchy; a supreme governor for life, entitled variously emperor (or empress), king (or queen), czar (or czarina), sultan, shah, etc.; primarily, a sole or autocratic ruler of a state, but in modern times generally a hereditary sovereign with more or less limited powers.

A gold nugget is a naturally occurring piece of native gold. “Gold nuggets originate from gold-bearing lodes. These derive from denser underground locations of the Earth, emerging on the surface through volcanic activity. Nuggets are pieces of naturally-occurring gold, detached from the lode, and then transported by natural forces in nearby sites like rivers.”

““Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness (right standing with God), Who seek and inquire of the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut And to the excavation of the quarry from which you were dug. Look to Abraham your father And to Sarah who gave birth to you in pain; For I called him when he was but one, Then I blessed him and made him many.” For the Lord will comfort Zion [in her captivity]; He will comfort all her ruins. And He will make her wilderness like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the Lord; Joy and gladness will be found in her, Thanksgiving and the voice of a melody. “Listen carefully to Me [says the Lord], O My people, And hear Me, O My nation; For a [divine] law will go forth from Me, And I will quickly establish My justice as a light to the peoples. My righteousness (justice) is near, My salvation has gone forth, And My arms will judge the peoples; The islands and coastlands will wait for Me, And they will wait with hope and confident expectation for My arm. Isaiah 51:1-5 AMP

Early in the morning of August 9th, I had a dream and in the later part a woman was speaking to me as she was riding in the front passenger side of a vehicle, she was nearly going to give birth any moment. In fact, she appeared to be overdue. I was riding in the back though leaning into the front to listen, and at times was viewing the scene from third person. At one point, she was using the opened glove box as a tray, and eating sliced meat. The meaning of the pregnant woman’s name means “harvester” and “late summer”. We were in an urban area driving down a narrow backstreet with colorful artistic painting and graffiti on the city walls. The word urban is Latin urbanus meaning, “of or pertaining to a city or city life; in Rome,” also “in city fashion, polished, refined, cultivated, courteous” ; urbis “city, walled town”.

As I have been praying for the restoration of Eden, I believe the redeemed, tested, and mature sons and daughters are being “reborn” to take dominion for and with our Heavenly Father; that we may establish His Kingdom as our rightful inheritance for such a time as this. This is a pivotal season of change and establishing, a time to walk into the fullness of what we were born to do – with humility, gratitude, and maturity. A time to redeem the land; polish, refine, and cultivate in courtesy to its Creator and with integrity to the original design. A time to build and re-build from the ancient path, fulfill the dream and blueprint of His heart, repair the walls that are continually before Him, make straight the highway and keep in sight the city of our God.

We Are Moving From Pressure To Promise

The harvest has been long overdue, and speaks of many different types of crops – from salvation of the eternal spirit to the secret petitions of the heart, the Lord is restoring life and waking all of our parts. The Father will fulfill His promises while the Son kisses your heart, delivered by the Holy Spirit and marked by a brand new start. From pressure to promise, the renaissance is beginning, watch now for the birthing and re-birthing is here. Steward well the authority given, for this shall be known as a season of “on earth as it is in heaven”. Lean in and incline your ear, do you not hear the sound of creation groaning?

“For against its will the universe itself has had to endure the empty futility resulting from the consequences of human sin. But now, with eager expectation, all creation longs for freedom from its slavery to decay and to experience with us the wonderful freedom coming to God’s children. To this day we are aware of the universal agony and groaning of creation, as if it were in the contractions of labor for childbirth. And it’s not just creation. We who have already experienced the firstfruits of the Spirit also inwardly groan as we passionately long to experience our full status as God’s sons and daughters—including our physical bodies being transformed.” Romans 8:20-23 TPT

“Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! But all things are from God, Who through Jesus Christ reconciled us to Himself [received us into favor, brought us into harmony with Himself] and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation [that by word and deed we might aim to bring others into harmony with Him].” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 AMPC

Return To Me (Again)

We are coming into a time when the truth will be seen “rightly” and it will be as the saying goes, “truth is stranger than fiction”.

The deceptive layer blinding the eyes and hearts of many is the real fiction, and while we have been comfortable to rebuke truth and hold fiction in its place – there will soon be no denying the false realities we have eagerly embraced for generations.

The arrogance of man will be humbled. The lofty thoughts will be made to bow low. The winds will sift throughout all the earth, lifting up and tearing down. Many will say, “Is this evil, or is this good?” And the Lord says yes it is both.

Repent (change your thinking) Repent (change your mind) – the glory clouds are coming to weigh the hearts and the mind. And as Elijah left this earth so will his spirit return, so look for the winds and the hurricanes as they will be a sign.

Return to me, return to me, hearts turn to the Father. Return to me, return to me and drink this last cup of water.

‬ ““Go up through the rows of Jerusalem’s vineyards and destroy [them], But do not completely destroy everything. Strip away her branches and the tendrils [of her vines], For they are not the Lord’s. For the house of Israel and the house of Judah Have dealt very treacherously (faithlessly) with Me,” declares the Lord. They have lied about and denied the Lord By saying, “It is not He [who speaks through His prophets]; Misfortune and evil shall not come on us, Nor will we see war or famine. The prophets are like the wind [their prophecy will not come to pass], And the word [of God] is not in them. In this manner it will be done to them [as they prophesied, not to us].” Therefore, thus says the Lord God of hosts, “Because you [people] have spoken this word, Behold, I am making My words a fire in your mouth [Jeremiah] And this people wood, and My words will consume them. Behold, I am bringing a nation against you from far away, O house of Israel,” says the Lord. “It is a mighty and enduring nation, It is an ancient nation, A nation whose language you do not know, Whose words you do not comprehend. Their quiver is [filled with the dead] like an open grave; They are all mighty men [heroes of their nation]. They will consume your harvest and [eat up] your bread; They will consume your sons and your daughters; They will consume your flocks and your herds; They will consume your vines and your fig trees. With the sword they will break down and demolish your fortified cities in which you trust. “But even in those days,” says the Lord, “I will not totally destroy you. It will come about when your people say, ‘Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us?’ then you shall answer them, ‘As you have abandoned (rejected) Me,’ [says the Lord,] ‘and have served strange and foreign gods in your land, so you will serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭5:10-19‬ ‭AMP‬‬

““Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance], so that I will not come and strike the land with a curse [of complete destruction].””

NOTHING CONCEALED

Part 1

A message for the Global Church

Earlier this month on Sunday, July 10, my friend picked me up for church which gave me the ability to finish getting ready in the car, and by getting ready I mean applying my makeup as it’s almost always the last step for me and on-the-go. This day I couldn’t find my concealer, it should have been in either my makeup bag or purse, though after searching with no avail it appeared to be misplaced or lost. For those of you who are not familiar with concealer and what it is used for, it is a light color cosmetic that is applied to the face that typically blends in with the skin to “conceal”.  My concealer is specifically used to brighten the under the eye area though it can be used for blemishes, red areas, or to blur imperfections, etc.  For me, if I choose to wear makeup it is a step in my routine that I don’t like to leave out as it gives a bright and even-tone look, however there was no substitute so I shrugged it off and went about my day.

After service, when I arrived back to the place where I am staying, I was walking up the stairs when the Holy Spirit said, “No Concealer”. Then I heard the scripture verse from Luke 12, “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.” Luke 12:2 NIV. In greater context, for over a year the Lord has been speaking to me about judgment, kings, ruling, and war, however I have seldom released those messages and have been intentionally “flying low”. Two months ago the Lord told me I needed to start saying the harder things He shares with me as it aligns with my purpose and call.

I asked the Lord why He didn’t just tell me the scripture as opposed to having me experience the message of literally ‘going without concealer’ and He said, “Because it’s right under the eye”. It is at the door – exposure, war, judgment, separation.  In other words, we are about to have an encounter with this knowledge. The experience with the concealer came after several weeks of new warning words, as well as dreams and visions of the needed cleansing and separation that is coming to the Church. There was a two-fold message in the concealer – first I could no longer keep hidden the secrets He has shared with me when given permission to release and secondly whatever has been hiding in darkness will be made known and come to light.  I was curious to know if I actually lost the concealer, and I did find it later on a small side table that I didn’t recall placing it on. I’ve gotten used to the prophetic acts that I often will experience on behalf of the Church Body, and this was confirmation that this was of importance to the Lord.

More revelation continued to flow as I thought about specific areas I apply the concealer; in addition to my eyes I also use it around the crease of my nose, and above my top lip known as “cupid’s bow” as it gives the effect of opening up the lips. As I meditated upon what the Lord already said to me I realized it didn’t end there – He wants us to fully sense what is happening in the Body without filter (nose). He wants to reveal the false loyalty, and religious spirit (lips). Our eyes cannot see on our own body these pointed out areas; we cannot see the creases or dark circles under our eye, we cannot see the folds beside our nose, and we cannot see our lips. The Lord is wanting us to see what is in “the fold” and “under the surface” so to speak in His Body.  Luke 12:1 is the opening scripture that precedes Nothing Concealed and gives warning of the leaven of the Pharisees. “In the meanwhile, when so many thousands of the people had gathered that they were trampling on one another, Jesus commenced by saying primarily to His disciples, Be on your guard against the leaven (ferment) of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy [producing unrest and violent agitation].” As I was writing this out I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to look up the word leaven in the Greek. Leaven is defined in HELPS Word-studies (figuratively) as the spreading influence of what is typically concealed, generally a symbol of the spreading nature of evil. Then Jesus says, “Nothing is [so closely] covered up that it will not be revealed, or hidden that it will not be known. Whatever you have spoken in the darkness shall be heard and listened to in the light, and what you have whispered in [people’s] ears and behind closed doors will be proclaimed upon the housetops.” Luke 12:2-3 AMPC

Prior to the concealer experience on Wednesday, July 6, I had another alarming dream of an unclean spirit trying to reproduce itself and directionally drive the body of Christ through seduction. Visually, a very tall man was sitting Indian style with his posture straight, his wife also very tall was also sitting Indian style to the left of him. This woman’s limbs coiled around the husband in an unnatural humanly possible way so that she was partly intertwined with him, though in the rite of unity. The woman’s name in the dream means “pure” and “clear”, though is also from the Greek god of magic, meaning “torture”. The man’s name symbolizes a type of Christ and means “to save”, “God is deliverance”. The man’s head seemed to be enlarged in the dream. Ultimately, the man representing the head of the Church was influenced by sensuality unaware and was subdued by a false peace, yielding his power to the desire and mind of the woman. The sensual spirit was masked under leadership, unity, purity and peace, and nearly impossible to discern based on appearances and logic.  When I was praying about the dream later in the morning that day, the Lord gave me a vision of a large white-head on the face that was ready to “pop”. It was quite deceptive because it was not red and irritated on the surface, though hiding underneath was the root of the acne where the build up of old oils and infection was trapped within the clogged pore. When I saw the vision it was magnified very large, so that the white-head was very enlarged, like a mountain slope. The internal build up was ‘piling high’ and ready to burst forth. The Lord was also pointing out that it was white which normally means purity however He was saying the mountain was disguised as ‘being pure’. “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully.” Psalms 24:3-4 NKJV.  This “popping” of the underlying infection will expose idolatry and deceit within with body.

This new wave of cleansing is so close that it is very difficult to see. This is why the five-fold leadership must pay attention with the eyes of their spirit. You will miss it if you only see what you see within your own ability, we must be willing to humble ourselves and listen to the Spirit and whom He may be speaking through to expose the deeper need of cleansing.  Our highest spiritual goal is to be transformed into the image of Jesus, and as we prepare for His return we purify ourselves to look like Him – the pure, spotless, unblemished Lamb of God. The unclean spirit is among the leadership and/or their influencers at different levels through out the global body. Often times when we are closer to the situation or persons either through position or familiarity, it can make the coming exposure, needed cleansing and separation hard to detect.  Seducing spirits cause religion to reproduce, as they are entangled and have become one. The process of becoming untwined and unyoked will more than likely be very painful though necessary.  This is a time when the Lord wants us to see the imperfections, darkness, and blemishes – not to be critical and judgmental (even though His judgment is coming) though rather as protection, an opportunity for repentance, and a severing for true sustainable healthy growth.

I asked the Lord why He spoke to me while going up the stairs coming back after church that Sunday. Why then? Why there? This is what He showed me, I am staying in a temporary and transitional place and the address numbers literally mean “complete new beginning”. I was just about to enter the door where those numbers are visibly located, and symbolically the new era of the Church and many in the global body have crossed over the Jordan though have not yet occupied their promised land. We have been traversing in the new land and have been given keys to doors however we have not completely taken residence in Canaan. We are not yet homeowners in the promised land. Some are in the process of building new homes, though the structures are not yet finished. Joshua’s conquest of Canaan was a seven year battle, made up of several other battles once they crossed the Jordan. Some of these battles were won by “suddenlies” by the Lord’s mighty power, but none were won without obedience to His instruction.

The Lord knows what we can handle and He sees the larger picture at hand. This is why cleansing and deliverance often happen in stages. “I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate [for lack of attention] and the wild beasts multiply against you. Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased and are numerous enough to take possession of the land.” Exodus 23:29-30 AMPC. As the Bride matures and completely separates from Egypt through sanctification, so shall she inherit her promises and land [short exhortation on that here https://ablazeglobalproductions.com/2021/06/25/rolling-away-egypt/ ].

This is the one of the most critical junctures of history, especially for the Church. The Lord is sovereign and yet our obedience and diligence toward His instructions, voice and ways has never been more important to inherit our complete new beginning. This is about the Lamb receiving His reward, His Bride, and when allow the unclean spirit a home in the new building / era we are not cleaning and purifying the Bride we are defiling her! For the union of the Son and His Bride, God’s love not only confronts, it cuts. When Jesus was on earth He said, “Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.” Matthew 10:34 NKJV. And in the Passion Translation, “Perhaps you think I’ve come to spread peace and calm over the earth—but my coming will bring conflict and division, not peace.” Matthew 10:34 TPT.  In the footnotes of The Passion Translation it is written that the Aramaic word harba can mean either “sword” or “war” and in the Greek either term signifies division.

The impending war and judgment we are facing will surface in our natural earth realm, however there is no doubt the war is first waged within the mind of man. Similarly the great judgement is a divide of the mind; a deciding for or against the beliefs that have taken root in the heart of man. “For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account.” Hebrews 4:12-13 AMP.

It was the Pharisees that made for themselves fail-able kingdoms on earth that decay, their self importance building towers high,“Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites (play-actors, pretenders), as it is written [in Scripture], ‘These people honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. They worship Me in vain [their worship is meaningless and worthless, a pretense], Teaching the precepts of men as doctrines [giving their traditions equal weight with the Scriptures].’” Mark 7:6-7 AMP. This religious spirit would be responsible for our slain Bridegroom King, it lay with the unclean spirit that would seduce and lead astray the loyalty of hearts, blinding men from the hope of an eternity with our risen Lord. Holy Spirit lead us to the measuring rod, may we build for You with purity of mind, heart, action and speech; help us to love the discipline of the Father as we build an unshakable Kingdom for Your throne, cleanse and sanctify us that we may share in the beauty of Your holiness. Make us holy because you are Holy, we want to look like you and behold Your form.

“For there is nothing hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come out into the open. So be careful how you listen; for whoever has [a teachable heart], to him more [understanding] will be given; and whoever does not have [a longing for truth], even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him.”” Luke 8:17-18 AMP

THE OIL IS IN UNITY

Earlier today I was thinking about the unity I have with someone in the Spirit and the tangible presence of the Lord came on me so intensely in that same moment. It was a sense of complete oneness with another and the Lord though I was sitting alone.

True union is not two-fold but rather three-fold. Our highest example is the Triune Godhead – Three persons though One. Three is also symbolic of the Spirit, and it is in the Spirit that we can really only experience true Oneness with the Lord or another person. Biblically, when two become one flesh in marriage, it is under the covenant of God, meaning it is by the Spirit they become one flesh. “A threefold cord is not quickly broken” Ecclesiastes 4:12. We look most like God when we are in unity, another reason the enemy comes to counter unity so fiercely not only in marriage but on any front is because he desires to look like God. Being that we are the image bearers of God Himself who the enemy now hates, he retaliates and disrupts to distract to distort to deceive.

Disunity begins as a disruption. The Lord gave me a picture to explain; if we are made of mostly water, think about when water is disrupted. Waves, storms, even small stones thrown in a river or pond can create a ripple. Now think of beholding your image in that body of water, now depending on the conditions when you see yourself when the waters are disrupted there can be multiple images, skewed images, distorted images, or worse yet you may not be able to see yourself at all. When the water is at peace, or when it is most still, that is when a clear image will be seen. “Let be and be still, and know (recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm‬ ‭46:10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬. Do you see? In the stillness of recognizing His image within us we understand that He is God. “Becoming” is the art of creation and we are formed and transformed for Him. “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭3:17-18‬ ‭KJV‬‬. We were always meant to see Him!

Side note – the reason we have and need deliverance ministry is because we have unified with other spirits, knowingly and unknowingly.

Oneness through remaining in Him is how we can truly be priests; our first ministry is unto the Lord, and as we abide in Him we are able to step into unity with one another. “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.” Revelation‬ ‭1:5-6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Obtaining oil is a necessary part of our high calling, and though costly, there is an even greater cost when found without it. As written of in the parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25, it is clear that eternity hinges on our own personal oil.

“How truly wonderful and delightful it is to see brothers and sisters living together in sweet unity! It’s as precious as the sacred scented oil flowing from the head of the high priest Aaron, dripping down upon his beard and running all the way down to the hem of his priestly robes. This harmony can be compared to the dew dripping from Mount Hermon, which flows down upon the hills of Zion. Indeed, that is where Yahweh has decreed his blessings will be found, the promise of life forevermore!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭133:1-3‬ ‭TPT‬‬.

Prophetically look at the numbers of this Psalm, Chapter 133 / 1+3+3 = 7 meaning complete. 1 3+3 = 6 meaning one man, two three’s but one. There are three verses that make up the entire chapter, meaning Trinity, the Spirit, unity and equal a total of three 3’s chapter and verse. 3×3 = 9 and the number nine is symbolic of birthing. I believe we even see the design of God in these numbers that read one complete re-birthing of man is in the unity of the Spirit. It is believed Jesus was 33 years old when He was crucified, the one man we need to behold. Our highest place of unity is remaining in Him, here we acquire the oil of intimacy. “My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, dispensing his life into mine!” Galatians‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭TPT‬‬

The Hebrew word oil in Psalm 133:2 means anointing, to shine, fruitful, ointment. I love how the Word is interwoven and testifies of itself, displaying the essence of fragrant unity. “Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

I have had a recurring vision over the last few weeks. In the vision I see myself leaning back into the chest of Jesus though I am facing forward and He is behind me. As I lean back into Him, I “disappear” and am completely in Him. Hidden in Christ. Come Holy Spirit, make us one with the Son! This is the circle of everlasting life, union with You! “For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.” Colossians‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Arise shining and burning one’s, arise!

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭60:1‬ ‭ESV‬‬

A BURNING HEART SETS THE WORLD ON FIRE

A New Word Of Encouragement To The Global Church Before Pentecost

Amy Sutherland 4.22.22

Clear vision and knowing your assignment make all the difference when given a weighty commission, yet what is essential for completion especially for longer-term and far-reaching assignments is a passionate heart. It is the fire surrounded by purpose that causes one to blaze ahead to the finish line. In the life of every believer is the core mission statement named The Great Commission, and we were given the Holy Spirit to help us fulfill it. In the Gospel of Matthew the final words recorded by Jesus are the first introduction to this commission;“Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed and made appointment with them. And when they saw Him, they fell down and worshiped Him; but some doubted. Jesus approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be).” Matthew 28:16-20. In the Gospel of Mark we have a even more detailed account of the commission, “Later, Jesus appeared to the eleven [disciples] themselves as they were reclining at the table; and He called them to account for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen Him after He had risen [from death]. And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. He who has believed [in Me] and has been baptized will be saved [from the penalty of God’s wrath and judgment]; but he who has not believed will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up serpents, and if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will get well.” So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord was working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed.]” Mark 16:14-20.

I believe if we are honest, many Christians leave the vision of The Great Commission up to Evangelists, their Pastors, other five-fold or even other leaders. They may wonder how can my life reach the world? Yet, truthfully, the vision to fulfill this command can seem overwhelming to anyone regardless of title. These leaders may be wondering the same, how do I lead others in reaching the world? In 2009 and 2010 I had the opportunity to spend six months in Africa, the first three months I was attending Iris Harvest School of Missions in Mozambique, serving with Heidi Baker’s ministry. I had so much anticipation in going to the school, I desired to go grow deeper in my relationship with the Lord, though also knowing the ministry operated in miracles, signs and wonders I could not help but dream about what I would experience! I did see healing, I did see miracles, but most experiences did not happen as I imagined – not bad, just different. The Lord spoke to me very clearly while I was there and one word that has marked me since was, “Amy, the greatest miracle is the miracle of the transformed heart”. Above Kingdom affairs and the supernatural life, He was setting things in order that are connected to the center of my calling. And really, this is for every believer, as the first commandment gives mention of this divine order, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and mind and with all your soul and with all your strength [your entire being].” Deuteronomy 6:5. We need wholeness of heart to love well; to love God, then ourselves, our family, and our neighbors. Physical healing is beautiful, biblical and one hundred percent what the Lord longs to give us, but it does not usurp the healing of the heart. What good is a physical healing if the heart from which we live is unwhole? “Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.” Proverbs 4:23. One of Mama Heidi’s main messages was “stopping for the one”; the simplicity of the Gospel is loving the one in front of you. I loved that the ministry was so free that it encouraged us to be missionaries wherever the Holy Spirit was leading us; from the homemaker to the business CEO and all in between we are the missionary in the field wherever the Lord has called us – inside the walls of the Church or outside, whether on foreign or domestic soil. While I had already held fast to this truth in my heart, it was liberating to be part of a ministry that empowered the Body in this way.

Before Jesus commissioned the disciples, He addressed their vision which was also connected to their hearts. Matthew pens some of the disciples doubted it was Jesus they were seeing, while Mark pens the disciples would give account (were rebuked) for their unbelief and hardness of heart because they did not believe those who had seen Jesus after He had risen from death. Unbelief is rooted in mistrust and is an issue of the heart, the eyes were the last senses to follow what their hearts were speaking. “The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out fo the evil of his heart produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Luke 6:45. Before the disciples could be used as the first mouthpieces for the foundational building of His Church and the fulfilling of the commission, Jesus had to remind them who they were. These disciples knew the Scriptures, they had been with the Word Himself! Hundreds of years prior Wisdom wrote, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Proverbs 23:7, and so He dealt with the mind that was causing the seed of doubt. In Greek the word for disciple is mathētḗs, a learner, disciple, pupil and comes from math – “the mental effort to think something through”. HELPS word study defines mathēteúō, “disciple” – to disciple, i.e. helping someone to progressively learn the Word of God to become a matured, growing disciple (literally, “a learner,” a true Christ-follower); to train (develop) in the truths of Scripture and the lifestyle required, i.e. helping a believer learn to be a disciple of Christ in belief and practice.” Before the disciples could be commissioned into practice, they had to believe!

The Great Commission was given after the crucifixion and Jesus understood the disciples were grieving, brokenhearted, and were trying to make sense of the living history they had just been a part of. They had no grid except that Jesus had told them these things would transpire, they were literally experiencing earth shaking events that had never happened before (or since). How beautiful we see the compassion, truth, and reassurance of the Lord at work even in the questioning. Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene after she returned to the tomb a second time and in her weeping, in her grief He came and said, “Woman, why are you crying? For whom are you looking?” and at the sound of her name “Mary!”, she turned and said, “Rabboni!” (John 20:13-16). Mary heard a name to Name recognition in her Beloved’s Voice, formed from her pure and intimate devotion. “The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10:27. Because Jesus defeated death and fulfilled the prophecy, He could now be seen as her Creator, “But now, this is what the Lord, your Creator says, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you [from captivity]; I have called you by name; you are Mine!” Isaiah 43:1.

As only Jesus can do, He watches over His Word to perform it, being the very fulfillment of the Spirit of Prophecy, He testifies of Himself again on the road to Emmaus on the same day of the resurrection in an appearance to two of His disciples. Concealing His identity, He first caused them to become still to acknowledge the condition of their hearts. “And then, that very day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. While they were talking and discussing it, Jesus Himself came up and began walking with them. But their eyes were [miraculously] prevented from recognizing Him. Then Jesus asked them, “What are you discussing with one another as you walk along?” And they stood still, looking brokenhearted.” Luke 24:13-17. I love the demonstration of Scripture found in this passage that Jesus was revealing through His presence; “He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds [healing their pain and comforting their sorrow].” Psalms 147:3,“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalms 34:18, ““Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.”” Psalms 46:10.

As the Lord continued to walk and talk with them, still concealed, He did for them what they could not do for themselves; He opened their minds to understand and process what had just happened. “And [Jesus] said to them, O foolish ones [sluggish in mind, dull of perception] and slow of heart to believe (adhere to and trust in and rely on) everything that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary and essentially fitting that the Christ (the Messiah) should suffer all these things before entering into His glory (His majesty and splendor)? Then beginning with Moses and [throughout] all the Prophets, He went on explaining and interpreting to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning and referring to Himself.” Luke 24:25-27. The Lord Jesus in His patience and kindness came where they were lacking – in their minds. Again in the Greek, a disciple derives its meaning from math, “mental effort to think something through,” and the circumstances and the evidence weren’t adding up yet for the disciples so Jesus provided the answers and helped them “solve the equation”. What happens next causes my heart to collapse in longing every time I read the passage. “Then they approached the village where they were going, and He acted as if He were going farther. But they urged Him [not to go on], saying, “Stay with us, because it is almost evening, and the day has just about ended.” So He went inside to stay with them. And it happened that as He reclined at the table with them, He took the bread and blessed it, and breaking it, He began giving it to them. Then their eyes were [suddenly] opened [by God] and they [clearly] recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight. They said to one another, “Were not our hearts burning within us while He was talking with us on the road and opening the Scriptures to us?”” Luke 24:28-32. A burning heart is the answer to life’s equation. You cannot give to someone else that which you do not have. Knowing and loving God, and loving others is the commission. This love reaches beyond death, and its flames cannot be quenched. Passion for God is the fuel needed to finish our race, but there is one more step in solving the equation…

There are many more accounts of the visitations of the Resurrected Christ to His disciples that affirmed the reality of His glorified body and revitalized their hearts in belief (John 20:30,31). However, there was one last command that Jesus gave before the disciples were to be released into their missions; they were to wait for the baptism and empowerment of the Holy Spirit. “Until the day when He ascended, after He through the Holy Spirit had instructed and commanded the apostles (special messengers) whom He had chosen. To them also He showed Himself alive after His passion (His suffering in the garden and on the cross) by [a series of] many convincing demonstrations [unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs], appearing to them during forty days and talking [to them] about the things of the kingdom of God. And while being in their company and eating with them, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father had promised, Of which [He said] you have heard Me speak. [John 14:16, 26; 15:26.] For John baptized with water, but not many days from now you shall be baptized with (placed in, introduced into) the Holy Spirit.” Acts 1:2-5

Once again in the Lord’s compassion and mercy He remembers the weakness of our frame and provides the fuel. We yield, we wait upon Him, and our strength is renewed. It is quite impossible to refuel a moving vehicle. The car must come to a complete stop with the engine shut off to safely refuel. As the disciples obeyed the instructions to wait in Jerusalem, 40 days later just as Jesus promised the Holy Spirit came. “When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place, and suddenly a sound came from heaven like a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. There appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were being distributed [among them], and they rested on each one of them [as each person received the Holy Spirit]. And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues (different languages), as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately].” Acts 2:1-4. The number forty represents testing, growth, and completion. Jesus left the wilderness after forty days of testing and was filled with power, at forty weeks a baby is ready to be born, and we are familiar with the Israelites wandering for forty years and the unbelief in the promise that kept them in the cycle. I believe forty is a number of choice; we can wander in disbelief or wonder in holy awe. Today I pray as you read this that the Lord would restore childlike faith in your hearts, I pray you would come out of agreement with unbelief and cease wandering and begin to wonder at the signs of the Lord once more. I release healing to bind up any broken-heartedness, and I declare you are released from your captivity. I pray your purpose would be clear, and vision would be restored. I pray you would be still and know that He is God, and in the stillness allow Him to complete the work He has begun in you. I pray for a fresh baptism of the Holy Spirit that would reignite first love. May your life be forever changed as you are renewed and refreshed to finish your race well. Gaze upon and behold the One in front of you, and cultivate devout affection for His Presence. We need the Holy Spirit to love Jesus, and it is He that enables to love the ones assigned around us and to us. Holy fire grip our hearts once more! Be blessed in your refueling and commissioning and may your burning heart set the world on fire!

“As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life’s marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us. We look away from the natural realm and we focus our attention and expectation onto Jesus who birthed faith within us and who leads us forward into faith’s perfection. His example is this: Because his heart was focused on the joy of knowing that you would be his, he endured the agony of the cross and conquered its humiliation, and now sits exalted at the right hand of the throne of God! So consider carefully how Jesus faced such intense opposition from sinners who opposed their own souls, so that you won’t become worn down and cave in under life’s pressures.” Hebrews 12:1-3

“Fasten me upon your heart as a seal of fire forevermore. This living, consuming flame will seal you as my prisoner of love. My passion is stronger than the chains of death and the grave, all consuming as the very flashes of fire from the burning heart of God. Place this fierce, unrelenting fire over your entire being. Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore.” Song of Songs 8:6-7
